Still I Rise

August 27, 2015

You try to judge me because of the color of my skin or where I'm from.

You try to set low expectations for me because you don't believe I can go above and beyond.

But proving you wrong, I rise.

 

You can't accept the fact that I'm succeding because of your pride.

When tyou see I'm doing better than you want me to, you try to take away my happiness.

That's fine though because,

Still I Rise.

I wrote this because this is how I feel on a daily basic and it's up to me to do something about it.
